Answer:

True

Explanation:

  1. Solve what's in parentheses: -3 + 1 = -2, 4 - 8 = -2
  2. Plug -2 and -2 in: 11 + 5(-2) - 2 = -(-2) - 5
  3. Simplify: 11 + 5(-2) - 2 = 2 - 5
  4. 5 × -2 = -10
  5. Plug -10 in: 11 + -10 - 2 = 2 - 5
  6. 2 - 5 = -3
  7. Plug -3 in: 11 + -10 - 2 = -3
  8. 11 + -10 = 1
  9. Plug 1 in: 1 - 2 = -3
  10. 1 - 2 = -3, so we know it's correct

I hope this helps!
